It's that time of day again. The market is nearly closed, the weekend draws close and the mainstream media needs a new narrative. Well voila - from none other than anonymously source US officials, The New York Times proclaims that

President Trump told Russian officials in the Oval Office this month that firing the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, had relieved “great pressure” on him, according to a document summarizing the meeting.

“I just fired the head of the F.B.I. He was crazy, a real nut job,” Mr. Trump said, according to the document, which was read to The New York Times by an American official.

“I faced great pressure because of Russia. That’s taken off.”

Mr. Trump added, “I’m not under investigation.”

Is that what they are laughing at in this image? Or are they scoffing at Anthony Weiner's sexts?

The NYTimes adds that The White House document that contained Mr. Trump’s comments was based on notes taken from inside the Oval Office and has been circulated as the official account of the meeting.

Additionally, one official read quotations to The Times, and a second official confirmed the broad outlines of the discussion, suggesting that the long knives close to Trump may be getting sharper.

There may heva been a method to Trump's madness, an "art of the deal" if you will. According to yet another government official briefed on the meeting and quoted by the NYT, "Trump was using a negotiating tactic when he told Mr. Lavrov about the “pressure” he was under. The idea was to create a sense of obligation with Russian officials and to coax concessions out of Mr. Lavrov - on Syria, Ukraine and other issues - by saying that Russian meddling in last year’s election had created enormous political problems for Mr. Trump."

In response to the NYT story, the White House did not deny the quotes but instead said that Comey's "grandstanding" and "politicizing" of the Russia probe hurt diplomatic efforts with Moscow.

"The President has always emphasized the importance of making deals with Russia as it relates to Syria, Ukraine, defeating ISIS and other key issues for the benefit and safety of the American people," White House spokesman Sean Spicer says in statement. "By grandstanding and politicizing the investigation into Russia’s actions, James Comey created unnecessary pressure on our ability to engage and negotiate with Russia," Spicer says

"The investigation would have always continued, and obviously, the termination of Comey would not have ended it" Spicer said adding that "once again, the real story is that our national security has been undermined by the leaking of private and highly classified conversations"

If I was Trump I would tweet "I said this to have more "flexibility" to deal with the Russians later"... and watch the lamestream media and dumbcrat heads explode. I mean... "At this point, what difference does it make!"

Every time I think I couldn't hate these rags any more than I already do, they come out with shit like this. Unbelievable. Anti-trust these sons of bitches, or better yet, burn their studios and newsrooms down.

Hmm. today Weiner pleads guilty, Huma files for divorce, Biden throws Hitlery under the bus, Rosenstein confirms Comey firing was appropriate, rape charges against Assange dropped, the Russians say Hitlery murdered Seth Rich.... the Friday news dump wasn't looking good for the lamestream Sunday press. So look....Trump Squirrel PLUS the Russians are involved!" Now they can all run with another fake news story and bury all the real news once again.

And just WHO supposedly took these notes that were leaked? I doubt that there was much of a crowwd with Trump and the Russians in the Oval Office... Fuggin' NYT, and the rest of the far left MSM should lose their licenses if they continue with this SEDITIOUS shit...

It is awful to see who they collude to destroy people. I knew a guy who was being investigated on something, had his name leaked to the papers and after almost 2 years was never charged, but they refused to exonerate him. They just said they would not be bringing a case against him. He ended up losing his job because his employer didn't like the fact that anyone could google and his name would come up with the bad headlines.

What is going on with the President is classic government and media bullying to sway public opinion and prevent him from getting anything done. Party before country liberals.

It should give every Merican a reason to pause and consider the consequences of unaccountable bureaucrats serving brain-dead technocrats protecting the interest of kleptocrats that serve globalist oligarchs.....

Remember Richard Jewel, a security guard who became a suspect for months - wrongly, as it later proved - after he pointed out a suspicious backpack which turned out to have a bomb in it: "Where do I go to get my reputation back?"
